Description

Looking for uncompromising protection for downhill, freeride, BMX, or steep technical descents? The WTEC Salonna fullface downhill helmet with a reinforced chin bar has your back even in the toughest sections.

Built for extremes, engineered for your safety

Thanks to its durable polycarbonate shell and EPS foam core, it delivers top‑tier rigidity, officially certified by the EN 1078 safety standard.

Its main technological advantage is the innovative ERT® system—a special polymer liner that effectively absorbs and disperses impact energy, maximizing head protection.

Comfort that keeps up with you

Forget the feeling of a bulky helmet. Weighing around 1,040 grams (size M), you’ll barely notice it on your head. A smart ventilation system with 13 air vents (10 on the helmet itself and 3 strategically placed on the chin bar) ensures constant airflow and a comfortable climate inside.

Inside, you’ll find soft, adaptable, removable padding that you can easily take out and wash after a demanding day in the bike park.

Style and practicality without compromise

The helmet features a sturdy, aggressively shaped peak and is fully compatible with motocross goggles, which fit perfectly into the design. A classic chin strap ensures quick and secure fastening.

The WTEC Salonna helmet is the perfect blend of lightness, uncompromising safety, and bold design for anyone serious about downhill riding.

 

ERT® System

The ERT® (Energy Reduction Technology) system represents a major innovation in head protection for extreme sports. Unlike traditional helmets that rely solely on an EPS layer, ERT® adds an additional level of active safety.

At its core is a special layer made of an advanced, highly elastic polymer placed between the outer shell and the inner padding. This structure acts as an intelligent shock absorber with two key functions:

  • Linear energy absorption: During a direct impact, the polymer cells compress instantly, absorbing a large portion of the shock wave and reducing the energy that would otherwise reach the EPS core and your skull.
  • Reduction of rotational forces: Most bike crashes occur at an angle. Rotational forces are extremely dangerous for the brain. The flexible material allows slight controlled movement between the helmet and the head, redirecting these forces and reducing the risk of concussion.

Main advantages of the ERT® technology:

  • Protection during smaller impacts: While EPS activates mainly during strong impacts, the ERT® polymer responds immediately, effectively damping even low‑intensity impacts that happen most often.
  • Material memory: Unlike polystyrene, the polymer has shape memory and returns to its original form after absorbing impact.
  • Comfort preservation: The liner does not restrict ventilation or increase helmet size. It blends seamlessly into the interior, so the rider doesn’t feel it during use.
